Courtyards and
Gardens
Each courtyard and garden at Kurá Hulanda has its own
distinct personality.
The Village Square
is the focal point of this eight-block village a place for guests to
linger, visit, meander, sip a coffee or cocktail, day dream or dance
under the stars. For those needing a large venue, the Village Square
is divine for a cocktail reception or seated dinner under the stars.
The Curaçao Garden
features herbs and fruits picked by the chef daily. A secluded spot,
this garden is a wonderful place to relax and listen to the gentle
fountain crested with a bronze sculpture of a winged sprite.
The Sculpture Garden
is the perfect place to read and admire the African sculptures and
contemporary mural on the mansion wall. An enclave in the middle of
Kurá Hulanda, this garden is resplendent for receptions and events.
The Indian Marble Garden was transported
from a Maharajah's home in India to enliven the area between the
Astrolab Observatory and the Indian Bridal suite -- water glides over
the smooth marble fountain while tigers, elephants, eagles and other
marble creatures look on. Two exhibits -- one of astrolabes and the
other sextants, flank the fountain. This garden adjacent to the
restaurant is a refined setting for a reception or seated dinner.
The pool gardens are lush locations for
private parties each conveying a different atmosphere. The Eco Pond
Pool Garden is lush and tropical the perfect setting for a casual
event. The Bolivar Pool Garden is tucked away and elegant. A superb
venue for a seated dinner or upscale cocktail reception.
A sophisticated sound system (comprised
of 10 zones) installed on the grounds of the hotel, permits each of
the courtyards to be suffused with music specific to the mood of the
courtyard. Similar to a DMX system, the music arrives via direct
satellite and is produced through built-in micro speakers.

are variety of retail shops for the convenience of guests, visitors
and island residents. The News Café features international newspapers
and magazines, beverages and small bites along with life's
